Do you ever resolve to make a particular dish, only to find two or three or twelve equally-appealing recipes for it? I do. Often.

Sometimes I simply can't decide which to use, so I just go ahead and make multiple versions. This is one of those times.
I recently found myself with about five quarts of blueberries on my hands and a powerful, no-use-fighting-it, resistance-is-futile craving for cobbler. I have a go-to recipe, as I suspect you all do, but I wanted to find something even better.

The resulting cobblers were remarkably similar, with A having more of a cake-like substance and B providing a wonderful goo-factor. Both were so delicious and perfect that I refuse to pick a winner. Nope. Ain't gonna do it.

As long as the A version has crunch on top I vote A. Gotta have that crunch along with the gooey beneath and judging from your photos, A has just that. Vanilla ice cream is an absolute necessity, Grace! (I just know you voted A and wanted us to make up our own minds!)

Oh, I have a weakness for cobbler something fierce! These both look awesome, Grace! I'd probaby have to say I'd like A better...love the texture contrasts. But, when it's drown in ice cream, who cares? he he he

They both look great! I tried the Pudding Cake too. I made it with blackberries. We couldn't wait until it set to dig in and there was a definitely a goo factor but, while it wasn't terribly photogenic, it was delicious!

Mmm.. I pick B.. because gooey sounds good right now. :) I always hate it when there are so many good choices for one type of recipe.. I am terrible at making decisions. These both do look so very delicious!

The cobblers sound wonderful. I know what you mean about finding multiple recipes. I often print out a gaggle of them and lay them out side-by-side, finding the commonalities, the elements I like, and morphing them into one super-recipe.

That title has to be one of the best tongue twisters of all time! I dare you to say it fast 5 times! I would not have to be dared to give this recipe a try. Both sound wonderful, although I am partial to pudding cakes. Awesome photos! YUM!

I already have a weakness for all berries and cherries, so I'm sure I wouldn't be able to choose either. I imagine this was very dangerous, sitting there eating a bite of one, then the other, then back to the first, then the second, A, B, A, B....can't decide, must keep eating...
